Have you ever been frustrated by your shower curtain? They tend to get moldy fast, they rip, they tangle and they allow just too much water to end up on the floor. Well, if so don’t be concerned, you can always install shower
doors or a shower enclosure which is exactly what we did yesterday for a customer here on Long Island.
If you are considering tossing that old shower curtain for a new shower enclosure, you had better do your homework. Doors quality ranges widely and prices range from a couple of hundred bucks in Home Depot or Lowes and go well into the thousands in some of your finer stores throughout Long Island. And I recommend getting the best doors that your budget will allow because just like everything else you get what you pay for.
But it will be worth it because along with everything else shower doors make the bathroom so much more pleasing to the eye and even add to the resale value of your home.
That is unless they get dirty. There is nothing uglier than soap scum or hard water deposit build up on glass shower doors. And to make matters worse it’s really difficult to remove once it happens.
I have had more than a couple of customers purchase new doors only because the old ones became too dirty to clean. If you have ever tried to clean the glass in your shower, I’m sure that you learned just how difficult it was to get it clean.
Are you having a problem keeping your glass shower doors or tub enclosure from getting that ugly soap scum and hard water build up? [click to continue…]
